Hydrogels (HGs), as three-dimensional structures, are widely used in modern medicine, including regenerative medicine. The use of HGs in wound treatment and tissue engineering is a rapidly developing sector of medicine. The unique properties of HGs allow researchers to easily modify them to maximize their potential. Herein, we describe the physicochemical properties of HGs, which determine their subsequent applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Examples of chemical modifications of HGs and their applications are described based on the latest scientific reports.

Magnetic Fe3O4/ZnWO4 and Fe3O4/ZnWO4/CeVO4 nanoparticles with different molar ratios of CeVO4 to other inorganic components were synthesized through co-precipitation with a sonochemical-assisted method. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods were used for the physico–chemical characterization of the obtained nanoparticles. As shown in the SEM images, the average sizes of the Fe3O4/ZnWO4 and Fe3O4/ZnWO4/CeVO4 nanoparticles that formed aggregates were approximately 50–70 nm and 80–100 nm, respectively. The photocatalytic performance of these nanoparticles was examined by measuring methylene blue degradation under visible light (assisted by H2O2). The sample with a mass ratio of 1:2:1 (Fe3O4/ZnWO4/CeVO4, S4) exhibited optimal photocatalytic performance, and thus this sample was subsequently used for the photodegradation of different organic pollutants upon irradiation with ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. Approximately 90% and 70% degradation of methyl violet and methylene blue, respectively, was observed after visible light irradiation. Additionally, the mechanism of the photocatalytic reaction was investigated by measuring ˙OH release under UV light in a system with terephthalic acid and by measuring the release of ˙O2−, ˙OH, and hole scavengers.

Herein, we report the surface functionalization of carbon nano-onions (CNOs) through an amidation reaction that occurs between the oxidized CNOs and 4-(pyren-4-yl)butanehydrazide. Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy methods were used to confirm the covalent functionalization. The percentage or number of groups in the outer shell was estimated with thermal gravimetric analysis. Finally, the potential applications of the functionalized CNOs as electrode materials in supercapacitors were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Functionalization increased the specific capacitance by approximately 138% in comparison to that of the pristine CNOs, while acid-mediated oxidation reduced the specific capacitance of the nanomaterial by 24%.

This review is an extensive evaluation and essential analysis of the design and formation of hydrogels (HGs) for drug delivery. We review the fundamental principles of HGs (their chemical structures, physicochemical properties, synthesis routes, different types, etc.) that influence their biological properties and medical and pharmaceutical applications. Strategies for fabricating HGs with different diameters (macro, micro, and nano) are also presented. The size of biocompatible HG materials determines their potential uses in medicine as drug carriers. Additionally, novel drug delivery methods for enhancing treatment are discussed. A critical review is performed based on the latest literature reports.

We report a facile chemical method to synthesize hybrid nanocomposites containing carbon nano‐onions (CNOs) and zinc oxide or hydroxide. The structure, surface morphology, optical properties and surface area of the CNOs were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared and Raman spectroscopies, and adsorption/desorption N 2 techniques. For the first time, we demonstrate the fabrication of bulk heterojunction organic solar cell devices utilizing hybrid nanocomposites containing CNOs and ZnO as the electron transport layer. This configuration showed good photovoltaic performance with maximum external quantum efficiencies of 16.5 and 48.9% and power conversion efficiencies of 0.42 and 1.49% for the pristine ZnO and CNO/ZnO (m CNO :m ZnO = 1:4) layers, respectively.

Fe3O4/CdWO4 and Fe3O4/CdWO4/PrVO4 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared at different molar ratios of PrVO4 to previous layers (Fe3O4/CdWO4) via the co-precipitation method assisted by a sonochemical procedure, in order to investigate the photocatalytic performance of these systems and their cytotoxicity properties. The physico-chemical properties of these magnetic nanoparticles were determined via several experimental methods: X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy, using a vibrating sample magnetometer and a scanning electron microscope. The average sizes of these nanoparticles were found to be in the range of 60–100 nm. The photocatalytic efficiency of the prepared nanostructures was measured by methylene blue degradation under visible light (assisted by H2O2). The magnetic nanosystem with a 1:2:1 ratio of three oxide components showed the best performance by the degradation of ca. 70% after 120 min of exposure to visible light irradiation. Afterwards, this sample was used for the photodegradation of methyl orange, methyl violet, fenitrothion, and rhodamine-B pollutants. Finally, the mechanism of the photocatalytic reaction was examined by releasing ˙OH under UV light in a system including terephthalic acid, as well as O2-, OH, and hole scavengers. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of each synthesized sample was assessed using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay against the human cell line PANC1 (cancer), and its IC50 was approximately 125 mg/L.

Nitrogen atoms were introduced into carbon nanoonion (CNO) cages by annealing aminated nanodiamonds (AM-NDs) under an inert helium atmosphere and reduced pressure. This procedure provided a convenient tool to control the surface properties, such as polarity, and to make CNOs suitable for various applications. Two series of CNOs were produced using different temperatures (1150, 1450 and 1650 °C) and starting materials, unmodified nanodiamonds (NDs) and AM-NDs. Nitrogen-doped CNOs (NCNOs) were prepared by annealing AM-NDs at 1150 °C via a procedure previously reported by our group. Herein, the surface polarity of the NCNOs and their catalytic and electrocatalytic properties were compared with those of the pristine CNOs obtained from non-functionalized NDs under the same experimental conditions. For these purposes, we used several experimental and theoretical methods, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, water adsorption-desorption measurements supported by the model proposed by Dubinin and Serpinsky, catalytic tests with a gasometric method and electrochemical studies, including cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. All of the CNOs and NCNOs were evaluated for use as biocompatible mediator-free substrates for horseradish peroxidase in hydrogen peroxide detection.

Zinc porphyrin-functionalized fullerene [C60] derivatives have been synthesized and used to prepare titania-based composites. The electrochemical properties and HOMO and LUMO levels of the photosensitizers were determined by electrochemical measurements. Raman and IR techniques were used to study chemical groups present on the titania surface. Absorption properties of the composites were measured in the solid state by diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectra (DRS). The zeta potential and aggregate sizes were determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electrophoretic light scattering (ELS) techniques. Surface areas were estimated based on Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) isotherms. The photocatalytic activity of the photocatalysts was tested using two model pollutants, phenol and methylene blue. The composite with the highest photocatalytic potential (1/TiO2) was used for river and wastewater remediation. The photodegradation intermediates were identified by LC-UV/Vis-MS/MS techniques.

Carbon nano-onion (CNO) structures modified with heteroatoms (N and S) were prepared by a posttreatment reaction. Their physicochemical properties were compared with those of pristine (unmodified) carbon nanostructures (CNs) using several methods, such as thermogravimetric analysis, adsorption/desorption of nitrogen, X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The results revealed that the structure of pristine and modified CNOs varied with the functionalization procedure. The modification of the CNO surface by heteroatoms led to changes in their structural or textural properties and resulted in increased wettability. All materials were electrochemically tested as electrode materials for supercapacitors and the enzymatic catalysis of hydrogen peroxide. CNOs modified with nitrogen and sulfur showed a greater specific capacitance than pristine and oxidized CNs. Modified CNOs also demonstrated enhanced enzymatic electrocatalytic activity toward hydrogen peroxide compared to the activity of pristine CNOs.

This review is focused on current state-of-the-art research on electroactive-based materials and their synthesis, as well as their physicochemical and biological properties. Special attention is paid to pristine intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) and their composites with other organic and inorganic components, well-defined micro- and nanostructures, and enhanced surface areas compared with those of conventionally prepared ICPs. Hydrogels, due to their defined porous structures and being filled with aqueous solution, offer the ability to increase the amount of immobilized chemical, biological or biochemical molecules. When other components are incorporated into ICPs, the materials form composites; in this particular case, they form conductive composites. The design and synthesis of conductive composites result in the inheritance of the advantages of each component and offer new features because of the synergistic effects between the components. The resulting structures of ICPs, conducting polymer hydrogels and their composites, as well as the unusual physicochemical properties, biocompatibility and multi-functionality of these materials, facilitate their bioapplications. The synergistic effects between constituents have made these materials particularly attractive as sensing elements for biological agents, and they also enable the immobilization of bioreceptors such as enzymes, antigen-antibodies, and nucleic acids onto their surfaces for the detection of an array of biological agents. Currently, these materials have unlimited applicability in biomedicine. In this review, we have limited discussion to three areas in which it seems that the use of ICPs and materials, including their different forms, are particularly interesting, namely, biosensors, delivery of drugs and tissue engineering.

This article describes a facile low-cost synthesis of polyaniline nanotube (PANINT)⁻carbon nano-onion (CNO) composites for solid-state supercapacitors. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analyses indicate a uniform and ordered composition for the conducting polymer nanotubes immobilized on a thin gold film. The obtained nanocomposites exhibit a brush-like architecture with a specific capacitance of 946 F g-1 at a scan rate of 1 mV s-1. In addition, the nanocomposites offer high conductivity and a porous and well-developed surface area. The PANINT⁻CNO nanocomposites were tested as electrodes with high potential and long-term stability for use in easy-to-miniaturize high-performance supercapacitor devices.

One of the polyphenolic compounds with strong antioxidant and antibacterial activities is 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-D-glucopyranose (PGG). Herein, we analysed the influence of PGG on mammalian and bacterial cells, including human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs), monocytes and a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Additionally, our results demonstrate the anti-inflammatory potential of 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucopyranose (β-PGG) in monocytes via the modulation of cell activity. Our study also indicates a high activity of β-PGG against the quality control strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Similar experiments were performed using gallic acid (GA), and the results indicated that this PGG metabolite does not reveals the biological properties of the glycoside.
